The role is key to developing sustainable and strong working relationships with partners. The main aim is to assist the emergency services to reduce demand and release resources to priorities.
Tri Service Safety Officer Duties
- Respond to 999 emergency calls for CFRS and SWASFT
- Deal with ‘non-immediate’ DCP community safety matters
- Complete multi-agency home safety visits
- Resolve complex neighbourhood policing issues
- Work with the local Anti-Social Behaviour caseworker
- Integrate within the neighbourhood policing team
- Assist with completing neighbourhood enquiries (non emergency 101 calls made to police)
The role provides the three emergency services with a presence in otherwise hard to reach communities. They are able to risk assess, and problem solve key issues within the local community. Having access to multiple data affords quick problem solving and intervention. The early intervention work that the TSSO’s carry out reduces demand and impact on the 3 emergency services. They also reduce demand of key partners within the public, private and voluntary sector, and their local communities.
